I am mama to two feline furbabies. I am an active volunteer in rescue and rehab for the golden retrievers of the ocean, sea lions! I have a keen interest in animal behavior. While I don't own a pup of my own right now, I look forward to lavishing some extra love on yours and helping them stay fit and happy!
